Thread

I understand there is non existence for editing existing contents, and from all the threads, there is no easy way to get around it. 

I think of couple wild ideas and wonder if they are “doable”.

1. Setting up staging and live servers.  All editors have access to the staging server only and approved materials will be propogated to the LIVE site.  Wonder what kind of data operations are involved.  Would a script to copy all weblog related tables sufficient?

2. Is EE capable to generate static HMTL files.  The LIVE site will simply pointing towards the static HTML files created by the staging server.

Any other suggestion?

I am sorry, I don’t even understand what that means.

Keeping two servers in sync is always difficult. I’d suggest you go with custom statuses instead. Searching for “workflow” here on the forums should get you started.

Not really, now. Look into the “pages” module, but the content would still come from the database, and thus won’t be truly static.

I mean EE can enforce some kind of approval process using the Status field (open/closed) for new entries.  But this won’t work for existing entries as there is no pending queue…
